This paper considers primarily the legislative basis (II) and case law developments of the enforcement practice (III) of the legal institution designed to protect the legitimate interests of EU Member States as formulated by Article 21(3) Regulation 4064/89 and Article 21(4) Regulation 139/2004. The analysis covers both known groups of ‘legitimate interests’: (1) interests ‘legitimate’ explicite, also called ‘recognised’ or ‘listed and defined’ interests, namely, ‘public security’, ‘pluralism of the media’ and ‘prudential rules’; as well as (2) ‘other legitimate interests’, also known as ‘innominate interests’ (IV). Covered are also competence and procedural issues surrounding legitimate interests relevant to merger control in light of EU rules of the control of concentrations (V). In analytical terms, the aim of this paper is to delineate the limits of the Member States’ intervention into merger control proceedings taking place before the European Commission that concern concentrations with an EU dimension. In this respect, the relation between EU merger control rules and public economic laws of its individual Member States is considered. On this basis, it is possible to draw conclusions helpful for the reconstruction of the Polish legal institution of an ‘exceptional clearance for anticompetitive concentrations’ contained in Article 20(2) of the Polish Competition and Consumer Protection Act of 2007 (VI).

This study applies stationary test with a Fourier function proposed by Becker, Enders and Lee (2006) to test the validity of long-run purchasing power parity (PPP) to assess the non-stationary properties of the real exchange rate for seven Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. We find that our approximation has higher power to detect U-shaped breaks and smooth breaks than linear method if the true data generating process of exchange rate is in fact a stationary non-liner process. We examine the validity of PPP from the non-linear point of view and provide robust evidence clearly indicate that PPP holds true for two countries, namely Bulgaria and Romania. Our findings point out their exchange rate adjustment is mean reversion towards PPP equilibrium values in a non-linear way.

This paper examines the direct and indirect effects of decentralization on economic growth that take place through transmission channels such as government efficiency, control of corruption, government sector size and the quality of living. A dynamic nature of growth, potential endogeneity and the distinction between short-and long-run effects are taken into account. Our findings support proactive government approach, including fiscal policy measures to stimulate demand, prevent decline of production and employment and rebuild trust in institutions. They question the current prevalent thinking about the beneficial effects of the reduction of government expenditure on economic growth.

In the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic, health systems worldwide have been subjected to hitherto unknown challenges. Public health policy makers are urged to find the best solutions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. Vaccination is seen, more than ever, as the main medical solution to save lives, although in recent times many countries have seen an increase in their citizens’ hesitation to get vaccinated. The aim of our research is to analyse Europeans’ attitudes towards vaccination and the factors that influence this attitude, both in terms of individual profile and differences between groups of people and between countries. The results confirmed that a positive attitude towards vaccination increases an individual's chances of getting vaccinated and that the vaccination depends on the socio-demographic characteristics of the individual.

Although the economic activity in a mixed economy is undertaken by the various kinds of organizations, only recently, the researchers have been paying attention to the forces influencing the size, composition and financial structure of the private non-profit organizations. With this paper, the authors want to add new evidence on the way European countries deal with the provision of welfare services, mostly focusing on the role played by the private non-profit sector. They are really interested in the relationship existing between the non-profit and public providers of education, health and social services in Europe. They will perform several empirical tests in order to know whether among the European countries, the non-profit and public sectors are 'partners' or 'rivals' in the provision of welfare services, and, whether such a relationship holds for the whole 17 European sample countries.

This paper empirically examines the short-term and long-term effects of changes in R&D intensity on particularly the rate of unemployment in addition to economic growth for a sample of five European countries. Utilizing annual data for the sample period of 1991 – 2017, two alternative methodologies, namely the ‘ARDL bounds testing’ and ‘PMG estimation’ are employed. The empirical results have shown that there exists a long-run relationship between R&D, unemployment rate, and economic growth in four of the five countries investigated. Furthermore, the results of panel data analysis have suggested that even though in the long-run a given increase in R&D is likely to lower the rate of unemployment (in the average country of the sample), in the short-run, it can have adverse effects on unemployment. The paper argues that these empirical results can be taken as an evidence for the idea that even though the dominant form of technological change is in the form of ‘new task creation’ instead of ‘automation’, in the short-run new technologies may lead to an increase in the rate of unemployment due to the possible mismatch between the skills required by the newly created tasks (jobs) and the skills of the existing pool of workers.

The aim of this paper was to develop a model that can forecast the bankruptcy of the companies using logistic regression model. The sample consists of 23 bankrupts and 30 healthy companies selected from the initial sample of all large active companies (1740 companies). The companies operate in the trade industry, sector wholesale in Western Europe, in the time period from 2010 to 2018. The logit model was based on the choice between 23 financial indicators. The obtained results with high accuracy showed that the most important bankruptcy predictors were the following five indicators: return on equity, current assets/ total assets, solvency, working capital turnover, stocks/current assets. The developed model provides an opportunity for all external stakeholders to easily identify companies that are facing the risk of bankruptcy. The possibility of the company’s bankruptcy prediction, the assessment of risk and threatened circumstances to continue business is crucial information for making all future business decisions with the company.
